I've already explained it so you on another thread. If you can't figure it out, that's your problem.

If only Ratner would wrap his cruddy looking mall across the street in something half as interesting as this ...

Lots of pear trees blooming on 5th Ave.

This is a surprisingly interesting design.

Yes, I like this one a lot: those folks over at shoP never do anything that looks bland, boring, mediocre, building-standard, ect........ The patina on that facade is something that needs to be 'seen' to be fully appreciated: even all this 'professional level' photography we have here on this thread does not quite capture the subtle color/textures of those 'weathered' panels. Beautiful!

It seems the design has received lots of criticism, but I actually like it... the facade is something new and refreshing (surprisingly, given it's basically a shade of brown) for a stadium. Looking forward to seeing the residential towers begin to rise around this as phase II of the development commences...

The mock-up of the facade panels (back in this thread) had a plastic look, no texture.

They basically left those facade panels out to rust, BEFORE they were installed: yes, definitely something new and refreshing. The result is a brownish mottled color, and a suede-like texture. A lot a people are just not going to "get it" and will probably wonder why the stadium owners 'forgot' to paint the building.LOL

I agree. The rusted metal is very bad-ass, and certainly not something I have seen before. These arenas tend to be very cookie-cutter, so glad to see this one is not.
